Not really. The API is free to establish the rules of how it operates. Since Mnemonics is such a fundamental aspect of a Windows GUI, it's perfectly acceptable. What would be gross was for the API to not give you the option to disable mnemonics on a control basis.

I don't want to get drawn into a debate here. I will say that I have googled, and searched the online documentation here for a couple of days and the solution was not apparent. The product is being pushed as a beginner tool, and beginners are not good at searching for stuff like this. The product is also making great pains to show it's xml features, where the & symbol is frequently used, (indeed, how I came upon the problem), yet I cannot find it there either.

Hmm... I don't know who told you this was for beginners. It's a programming language. Part of the apprenticeship process is exactly hunting down for answers to things we don't know. As we gather knowledge things start to fit in place and all will appear more easy and make more sense. It's not the other way around. In the beginning everything will appear confusing and difficult.

That's what being a beginner is all about. Confused, bewildered and sometimes slightly annoyed.
